I saw you read . I've read the first four books in the series - can I read this one out of order?"

I haven’t read all the books in order. Bad me! There will be some mild spoilers about some of the characters from previous books. If that doesn’t bother you, I recommend the book. It was a 5 star read for me!

Which book has the word vegetables in it? Hopefully, it isn’t one I already finished! If it’s Desperate Girls, I already returned the book to the library.

I found a book All We Ever Wanted and the universe must be telling me I HAVE to read it. The title, author and characters listed in the description fulfills just about every letter for vegetables. So I guess I better listen! LOL

Your holiday plans sound fun!

So we are going to need Vs again and plenty of Es for next week. I will focus on reading books with those letters for week 4!

Laura, I am working hard to finish my books this week! The books are longer than the previous week, but I should have them all done by Saturday morning!

Well, I guess for sure I will wait for my copy from the library!

My favorite book during wheelathon is A Court of Mist and Fury. Sooooo much better than the first book! But after reading reviews of book 3, it may not live up to my expectations.

My least favs are The Liar and The Prettiest One. Stay clear of these books! LOL

Glad you had a good weekend, Laura!

Brooke, you inspired me this weekend. I made butternut squash soup too. I tried a new recipe with carrots and apples. It was delicious. I made a big batch so I could freeze some for later!
